About Keith

Keith Heating and Air Conditioningwas founded in February of 1995 by lifelong Southern California resident, Keith Porhola.Keith’s work ethic and honesty are grounded in his Finnish ancestry. His father inspired him (at a young age) to find a trade that he loved and to develop his skills to the fullest.In high school he started his first air conditioning service company, Be-Cool Evaporative Cooler Service.During his summer school vacations, he serviced and repaired evaporative coolers (called swamp coolers in the trade) for air conditioning systems.After high school Keith entered college and followed with continuing education and night classes to further hone his skills in complex refrigeration systems, air flow and ducting.After 10 years practicing the trade, Keith attended the distinguished Carrier Technical School and graduated with Carrier’s Tech 1 and Tech 2 certifications. Shortly thereafter, his experience coupled with ongoing continuing education, enabled him to pass the rigorous and prestigious exam as a licensed State of California Warm Air Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Contractor.(California Contractors License # 702721)

Some 25 years from the inception of his first High School company in 1983, after thousands of commercial and residential air conditioning and heating equipment contracts, numerous long hours in home comfort training seminars, Keith is still devoted to providing his best possible service to his valued customers!
